Here's chapter 84.

Meanwhile, at Haida and Retsuko's house. The three older red pandas were meeting, each one doing something different.

Retsuko's father was cleaning his camera. He had gone to look for it at his house a few hours ago and already had it in his hands. While he cleaned it he looked at the family photos that were on the nearby table and that had been taken by him. Among them was the photo of him, his wife, his daughter, and his son-in-law shortly after the latter two got married. In another photograph, Haida and Retsuko were sitting together in an armchair where Retsuko could be seen clearly pregnant and one of her hands on her belly, Haida had his hand on his wife's in said photo. . That photo was when Retsuko was 5 months pregnant. Another photograph had Haida and Retsuko together, the day Koka was born. Retsuko held him in her arms while Haida had his hand on the baby's head. There was also a photo where almost all the relatives were together during a family reunion, since apart from Retsuko, Haida and Koka; there were Retsuko's father and mother, Retsuko's two grandfathers and two grandmothers, and even Retsuko's aunt. From Haida's family there was only his mother, since his father Juzo as he was sick that day and couldn't attend or at least that's what he said; and his younger brother Jiro was busy with some government business that prevented him from attending.

Meanwhile Retsuko's mother was on the phone with Haida's mother on the phone. About the fact that she and her family would also come to stay there with them. According to what the middle red panda heard from her in-law, the Haida's family would arrive there the next day, around noon. Since Juzo was in good health at the time, he would go. Retsuko's mother still didn't know how he agreed to come, considering the things she had heard from him. Although since they were all family, they couldn't put it aside even if they wanted to. While she was surprised that Jiro could come too, since Retsuko's mother didn't expect him with his busy schedule to come. From what she had just heard what time he got off work, it's likely that Jiro was home before Haida and Retsuko got back from work. Not to mention that the other relatives of the family on Retsuko's side would also arrive home the next day, albeit during the afternoon. It would definitely be an interesting meeting, she just hoped that things wouldn't get out of hand, especially with the situations that could happen in the city sooner or later.

Finally, Retsuko's grandmother was sitting in the armchair in the living room. She was having some tea. That was the best way she had to relax, although it was also one of her favorite pastimes, and this time she was drinking it as a hobby. That same morning she had bought several tea bags of different flavors. Her daughter and her son-in-law accompanied her to buy them. And she bought enough to last a whole week. She wasn't sure if any of Haida's relatives drank tea, but he made sure to buy some relaxing tea just in case Haida's father got too rough with someone. She just hoped that him didn't start lashing out at her, since she didn't plan on keeping quiet in that case, since she would tell him all the truths about him to his face singing Death Metal. Although she only hoped that if something like this started, Koka and his friends wouldn't be present, since she didn't want them to hear the vocabulary that she would use in that.

While the three red pandas were each about their things, they didn't listen when a limousine pulled up in front of the house. From this came Haida, Retsuko and Koka. It could be seen that the little red panda was quite happy for his first trip in a limousine, actually when he grew up he would buy one and take all his family and friends there for a ride. He supposed that Hana, Izumi and Daisuke would like to come. He hoped that he could also have another limo ride, this time in the company of not only Hana, Izumi and Daisuke, but also Nicole and Jerry, and also the mobian children, before they return to their respective country and respective dimension.

"And so Koka, you had fun," the blue donkey said through the limo's window.

"Of course I do, Uncle Tadano. When can the next ride be?" said the little red panda.

"It all depends on when your parents have time and I'm not busy. I'm usually free on weekends."

"Dad, mom. Could we go for another walk next weekend?"

"Well, it all depends, remember that we have another commitment on Saturday" Retsuko said.

"If we're not so tired on Sunday, then yes, we could go for another ride in the limo," said Haida.

Hearing that Koka started to jump for joy. "Tomorrow I'll ask Hana, Izumi, and Daisuke if they can come too. Isn't there a problem with that Uncle Tadano?"

"Of course not, if their parents agree." said the donkey, then looking at the time on the watch he was using. "Well it's getting late, we have to go now, Puko and I are going to have dinner at a restaurant."

"I hope you have fun" said Haida, Retsuko and Koka.

"Before we go" said Puko, who was sitting next to Tadano. "This is for you Koka" she said taking the gift through the window and Koka taking it in her hands.

"Thank you very much Aunt Puko, what is it?"

"It's a surprise. When you will have the gift you will see it".

"I hope you like it too, since I was present when Puko bought you this gift, and surely it is something that will be of interest to you."

"Cool. As soon as I get home, and tell my grandparents and great-grandmother what we went through today, I'll open it" Koka said, even more excited than before." said Koka even more excited than before.

"Okay then, it's time to go. We won't see later," Tadano said.

"Bye, everyone," said Puko.

"Bye" said Haida, Retsuko and Koka, saying goodbye as they watched the window through which Tadano and Puko had been talking to them close, and then saw how the limo left the place.

When they saw the limo turning a corner and then disappearing from sight, the three of them finally decided to go inside.

Once inside, they saw what their relatives had been doing up to that point. They could see that Retsuko's father had finished cleaning his camera, Retsuko's mother had finished making a phone call, and Retsuko's maternal grandmother had just finished her cup of tea. It seemed that they had a fairly quiet day in their absence.

After making a brief greeting, Haida took the bass of it backpack and put it in his room, while the backpack was stored in the closet. And he returned just in time to hear Koka tell his grandfather, grandmother and great-grandmother, everything that happened that day, the only thing he omitted was that they met Mr. Wilde, since he knew that they would ask several questions with which in the end they would end up finding out that they were somehow having contact with the mobians, and they shouldn't find out about any of that so as not to worry them. Finally he told them about the gift they gave him when he said goodbye to his honorary uncle and aunt.

After that Koka put the gift on the table and began to open it very eager to see what was inside. His relatives were behind him to see what it was. Once the box was open, he could see that it was the DVD of a movie that he went to see with his parents at the cinema about four months ago and that he had loved it. It was a movie based on his favorite show that he watched with his friends every day after they finished their homework. That series had several movies and they released one a year and this was the one they had released that year. He had in his collection his previous films, which had always been his parents, his grandparents and even his great-grandparents who bought them for him. This was the first time that Aunt Puko bought him a movie from his favorite series. He supposed that his parents told her that he really liked that series, and she thought that maybe it would be a good gift for him.

"And then Koka, what do you think of your gift? You like it" Retsuko asked.

"Of course. I didn't expect to have this so soon. Can I see it right now?" Koka said.

"Of course. Just let me plug in the DVD player in your room so you can watch it," Haida said walking out of the living room in the direction of his son's bedroom.

"Koka, before you go, do you want me to take a picture of you with your new present" Retsuko's father said, holding up his camera.

"Yes, Grandpa, I would like that." Koka said, he liked it when his grandfather took pictures of him every time he received a gift.

The little red panda got into position, holding the DVD case of the movie in his hands, as he made a happy face. His maternal grandfather put the camera in front of his eyes, focused it and took the picture in less than 5 seconds.

"Okay, it's ready. You came out very well Koka ".

"Thank you, Grandpa. Can you retire me now?"

"Of course. Have fun watching the movie."

Once he heard that, Koka ran out to the bedroom, meeting his father on the way, who was already on his way back to the living room, and thanking him for plugging in the DVD player.

While Koka watched the movie, the adults sat down to talk. At first, Retsuko's mother thought of breaking the news to Haida and Retsuko the news about their other relatives coming home the next day, but in the end she decided it had better be a surprise. And though she knew Haida wouldn't be excited to see his father, in recent years he had grown closer to his mother and his younger brother, so perhaps something good would come of this. Haida already knew they were coming anyway, just not the specific day they would arrive. Although it seemed that he still hadn't told Retsuko about it, since she hadn't mentioned anything so far. She decided that it would be better if they left it as a surprise for them.

As the end of the afternoon approached they decided to watch the news. There was nothing interesting or noteworthy in the news, although they did mention that the whereabouts of the heroes who saved the city twice remain unknown and the government refuses to give any information about whether or not they know their whereabouts. Even the prime minister always mentioned that he wouldn't say a word on the matter.

Haida and Retsuko upon hearing that, were greatly relieved to see that they were very committed to keeping the mobians hidden from the public eye and not revealing their whereabouts. In those moments they wondered what they were doing. Perhaps something very important, although for the moment they could rest easy because if something bad was happening, they would have already been informed, so they wouldn't have to worry much at the moment. They only hoped that these moments of peace would last forever.

So far the chapter. I hope you liked it.
